College football has the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic to start its season, and Cowboys Stadium has gotten into the mix in recent seasons with its Cowboys Classic. Now, bd Global could be staging a similar one-day event to start the college basketball season, ESPN.com reports.

bd Global, an event management and PR firm that also staged last season’s Texas vs. UCLA game in Houston, is looking to feature some of the nation’s best teams at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, where the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks and NHL’s Dallas Stars play.

The event could feature as many as four games, bd Global president Brooks Downing told ESPN.com. And perhaps as half of the event’s participants would come from the Big 12, given the geographic proximity.

"We're still tying up some loose ends," Downing told ESPN.com, "but hopefully we'll be able to announce something soon."

Indiana could be among the marquee teams considered for the event, given that coach Tom Crean gets marketing representation from bd Global. The Hoosiers were a No. 1 seed in the 2013 NCAA Tournament, but fell in the Sweet 16 to eventual Final Four participant Syracuse. Crean has gotten his teams to big pre-conference tournaments in the past, most recently the Legends Classic in Brooklyn. However, when reached early Thursday afternoon about playing in such an event, Indiana basketball sports information director J.D. Campbell said, "Nothing is on our radar."

Dallas has been chosen as this year’s site because the city will host the 2014 Final Four. If this event goes well, the plan would be to roll out similar annual events in the cities that will host future Final Fours. The 2015 Final Four will be in Indianapolis, while the 2016 event will come to Houston.

"We want this to serve as the tip-off to the season," Downing told ESPN.com. "The plan is to generate a lot of excitement and hype about college basketball in the city that's hosting the Final Four."
